Within a fairly concentrated area I found about 15 such properties, took some pictures and recorded the addresses, but I'm not really sure what to do next.  

Your offers have to be more fair, and unfair offers for yourself can lead to complaints to the real estate commission.Really the idea of building up ill will and the threat of complaints to the real estate commission are going to follow most parts of the transaction if you are licensed.

My houses to the south in Hazel Park go fairly fast.  

I just want everything to be fair for my partner.  

He is very good and fair on pricing.

The lease option strategy is fairly uniform in application but complicated when you consider the details. 

As to other credits, a lender only allows amounts paid in excess of fair market rents based on the appraiser's finding the rent amount in the future, not as to what your agreement states.

I've been licensed since March so I'm still fairly new.  

Seems like the fair thing to do is to split the cost between your friend and the 2nd floor tenant.

If these are $700+ units that is a fairly tight margin.
